    An honest look at what happens when the roles of parenthood are reversed and the fight of addiction. Well done.

    Just saw a powerful Zoom performance of this play. The surprises unfolded one after another, showing us a fresh and believable conflict for a mature actress to play, and a delicate, nuanced relationship between the characters. Hageman shows us a lot in 10 minutes. Well deserving of more performances.

    What a fine piece of work. Hageman beautifully explores the parent/child relationship with witty dialogue that keeps you entertained and then slaps you across the face with its codependent realities. The honest simplicity and reality of it all is exquisite. Would love to see this on its feet.
